the man who has the money can't get
any fuller than the man he pays for,
after all. Some men take q malicious
joy in filling others up. | still recollect

IL advance by party of enthusiastic
scientific investigators of the human
mind to see how estheticism worked un.

upon Oscar began early in the evening.
At 9 O. clock one-half of the party was
laid up in extraordinary, and Oscar was
demolishing the theories Of art held by
:. very clever lawyer with a clearness
that was paralyzing. Fresh relays were
laid on to continue the good work, and
re-inforcements were added as the
wounded were carried off the field. This
process went on till 1 o'clock in the
morning. The hack company made a

When the Emperor Maximilian,
whom the French, English and Aus
trians had put upon the throne of Mex
leo, had been deserted by his European
allies on account of the uufriendiness
OF the United States TO his enterprise, he
was overcome by the military forces cf
the revolted Mexican people, and con-
demned 10 death for mis- usurpation.
He was shot at Queretaro, June l9.
1867, and with him his Mexican prime
minister, Miramon, who was con-
demued for treason to the republic.
Before they were eXecu ed Maximil-
ian and Miramou were allowed to walk
in the garden, attended by guards. As
they were breathing with relief the

Columbia, S. c., CORES pondeut write
as follows to The New Otleans Picayune:
The strange story of the poisoning of
Davis lake, Georgetown county, by a
hail storm as recently described in the
Pieayune, and which many persons were
disposed to ridicule, has been corrobo-
rated III every particular by prominent
citizen of Georgetown who has inyesti-
gated the matter at the reques OF Gen
Greedy, chief of the weather service.
A dense mass of black gum trees sur
round the lake on all sides. Il is well.
known that the leaves Of these trees are
strongly impregnated with tanic acid
1t has also been ascertained hat In the Dot
tom of the lake is slight deposit of iron.
The poisoning of the water, therefore,
is thus explained: The hail storm filed
the lake with bruised leaves and small
branches from the trees, the tanic acid
eliminating from which mingled with the
iron and formed tanic OF iron, causing
the water to turn black rs ink and bitter
as quinine, and poisoning the fish by
thousands.
lake survived the singular disaster, and
that was the mudfsh, which buried itself
in the mud at the bottom, and thus es-
capped the effects OF the poison.
The stencil arising from the mass of
dead and rotten fish is described as fear
full. The thousands of buzzards in TAX
ing their departure in the evening for
their roosting place after days feast
are described IS making a noise similar
to that of an approaching cyclone.
On each end of Dawhs lake, about half
mile distant, is small lake in which
numbers of fish abound, but upon exam
ination show no signs of the hail-storm
which swept over Dawhs. This confirms
the belief that the direct cause of the
disaster to the fish is due to the hail
storm.

United States Signal Officer Hazen re-
lates his experience in the recent balloon
ascension as follows;
The balloon attained a height of To-
600 feet above the surface of the earth
at 500 p. M. according to the markings
of the instruments of United States Sig
nal Officer Hazen, who was one the four
in the car of the balloon. This is the
highest on record in America. At this
point the thermometer marked 81 degrees
Fahrenheit. Correspondent Duffy says
it seemed very cold coming from heat
of 80 degrees in the shade an hour be-
fore. The air ship left the earth as if
reluctant to depart. But once on its voy-
age upward it gained speed rapidly, and
was quickly among the feecy clouds.

falling no more; the 300 feet of drag
rope resting on the earth, gave the relief.
More ballast was thrown out, and the air
ship again assembled this time to 5000

deserving fellow creatures should be in
a great institution of learning without
an opportunity to avail themselves of its

made a law that husband might kill his

the keys OF wine cellar. Pliny also
says that a judge in similar case pro

than was necessary for the preservation
Of her health" and that therefore she
